Quality coffee comes from quality
ingredients. For the best coffee, you
should start with freshly ground coffee
from freshly roasted beans. The beans
can be purchased and stored in an
airtight container. Just prior to brewing,
remove the amount needed and grind
the beans. Once the bean is broken, the
intense, rich flavor begins to deteriorate.
The amount of coffee to water depends
upon personal preference. One tablespoon
of ground coffee per cup is recommended.
